Method and apparatus of playing contents seamlessly

Abstract

A method of reproducing content seamlessly, the method includes: determining an operation state of registered devices; receiving information regarding an application that is being executed or has been executed by a registered device in operation from among the registered devices; determining a priority of reproducible content based on the information regarding the application; and reproducing content having a first priority from among the content.

1 . A method of reproducing content seamlessly, the method comprising:
 determining an operation state of registered devices;   receiving information regarding an application which is being executed or which has been executed by a registered device in operation from among the registered devices;   determining a priority of reproducible content based on the information regarding the application; and   reproducing content having a first priority from among the content.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the reproducing of the content comprises:
 displaying a list of the reproducible content, and reproducing content selected by a user.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining of the operation state comprises:
 when a user approaches within a set range, determining an on/off-state of the registered devices.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining of the priority comprises:
 determining a priority of the content depending on a kind of the registered devices.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining of the priority comprises:
 determining a priority of the content depending on a kind of the application.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining of the priority comprises:
 determining a priority of the content depending on a kind of the content.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining of the priority comprises:
 determining a priority of the content by combining at least two or more of a kind of the registered devices, a kind of the application, a kind of the content, and a time when the application has been executed.   
     
     
         8 . A device for reproducing content seamlessly, the device comprising:
 a memory; and   a processor,   wherein the processor determines an operation state of registered devices, receives information regarding an application which is being executed or which has been executed by a registered device in operation from among the registered devices, determines a priority of reproducible content based on the information regarding the application, and reproduces content having a first priority from among the content.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the processor displays a list of the reproducible content and reproduces content selected by a user. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein when a user approaches within a set range, the processor determines an on/off-state of the registered devices. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the processor determines a priority of the content depending on a kind of the registered devices. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the processor determines a priority of the content depending on a kind of the application. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the processor determines a priority of the content depending on a kind of the content. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the processor determines a priority of the content by combining at least two or more of a kind of the registered devices, a kind of the application, a kind of the content, and a time when the application has been executed. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer-readable recoding medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method of  claim 1  on a computer.
